Before the imperial concubine entered the palace, the Zheng family was just an ordinary family. The imperial concubine's father, Zheng Chengxian, was just a butcher, so the Zheng family's old house was not originally big, with only three rooms.

After the imperial concubine entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor, and the Zheng family gradually became prosperous. Zheng Chengxian and his son also built a large mansion in the capital, but the old mansion was renovated and expanded three times, covering an area of ​​half a hectare. The number of houses has also expanded from the original three to more than 60, and a flower courtyard pool was built in the middle, and more than a dozen servants were hired to guard it, which is no worse than the yards of ordinary wealthy families.

In such a big place, if Liu Cheng hadn't led the way to point out where the Tibetan silver was, Wei Liangchen thought it would take at least a few days for him to find the silver.

Moreover, it must be a way to find a way to dig three feet into the ground.

There is no way, who made Liu Cheng and Jiang Lishan hide the silver so secretly and so thief?

From the outside, there is no difference between the Tibetan silver and other places. It is paved with bluestone slabs, with no joints and buckles, and looks like a flat and clean floor.

If no one told him, even if Wei Liangchen took a mat and slept on it every day, he would not know that there was a huge sum of money buried under his butt.

The servant of the Zheng family in the old house didn't know what was going on at first, but a manager came forward to scold him. After seeing Eunuch Liu who was beside the Empress, the manager immediately walked aside obediently.

After ordering people to take all the servants of the Zheng family to the other courtyard, Wei Liangchen shook the handkerchief in his hand and ordered people to excavate.

Cui Yingyuan immediately led a group of people holding shovels to dig the ground. Soon, as stone slabs were carried away, baskets of soil were dug up, and silver boxes buried underground were exposed.

Cui Yingyuan jumped out of the pit and opened a silver box. He found that it was filled with official cast silver. Most of them were cast by the original dynasty, but some were even silver seals from the Zhengde period during the Longqing period. The silver patterns were all ten taels and fifteen taels, and each box was about one hundred ingots in it. Two more boxes were opened, and it was like this inside. There were dozens of such silver boxes in this pit alone.

The crowd of Dongchang actors were shocked by the scene in front of him, and even Wei Liangchen's personal guards were stunned.

"so much…."

Even though he knew in advance that there was a huge sum of money hidden in the old house of the imperial concubine, when he really saw these silver boxes, Tian Ergeng was shocked. Even though he was a famous second-generation official in Beijing and did not take money seriously at all, so many silver boxes still made him take a deep breath.

Wei Liangchen knew the number and had long been a rich man, so he was not shocked by this. He glanced at Liu Cheng, who had a expressionless face, and his mouth slightly grinned. He went to the side to find a clean place to sit.

According to Liu Cheng's confession, there were silver boxes buried underground in the yard, with a total of 328. At that time, he and Jiang Lishan transported the silver into the customs in four batches in the name of a caravan.

"Dad father-in-law, how could there be so much money?" Tian Ergengshi couldn't help but ask, and he was forced to know where this huge sum came from.

"These are Gao Huai's savings in Liaodong for more than ten years, but only half of them." Wei Liangchen sneered and told Tian Ergeng about Gao Huai's hiding silver.

Tian Ergeng was shocked again after hearing this: "So, half of them are in Matang?"

Wei Liangchen nodded. Ma Tang got Tibetan silver from Gaizhou, but it seemed that he could not save it anymore.

"I'm sorry for Brother Tian."

Tian Ergeng was a little surprised: "Why are you and me?"

Wei Liangchen nodded slightly and looked at Liu Cheng.

Tian Ergeng understood and immediately walked to Liu Cheng calmly, then suddenly drew his sword and stabbed it into the other party's heart.

This sudden change made Liu Cheng unexpectedly, and his heart hurt so much that he collapsed to the ground in pain.

Wei Liangchen stepped forward and looked at Liu Cheng, who was shaking and shaking on the ground, unable to breathe. Seeing that the other party's mouth was moving slightly, he squatted down.

"For... why?" Liu Cheng's voice was full of reluctance.

"This is what the Empress means."

After saying that, Wei Liangchen wrapped his hand in a handkerchief and pulled Tian Ergeng's sword out of Liu Chengxin's mouth, and instantly a blood column was spurted out.

After turning around and handing the sword back to Tian Ergeng, Wei Liangchen called out Cui Yingyuan.

Cui Yingyuan hurried over and bowed and said, "What are the instructions for father-in-law?"

"You take our brand to find Deng Xian and ask him to hand over the Black Flag Arrow Team to you. In addition, we will pass on our orders to withdraw all the people in the East Factory in Daxing." Wei Liangchen threw his waist card to Cui Yingyuan.

Cui Yingyuan hurriedly took it in his hand, glanced at it, and hesitated: "Dadfather-in-law, what if Deng's head refused?"

Wei Liangchen didn't say anything, just looked at Cui Yingyuan.

Cui Yingyuan was stunned for a moment and bowed and said, "I am humble and accept the order!" Then he clicked several players and ran out immediately.

This is also the test of Wei Liangchen on Cui Yingyuan. If he can't even handle the unknown Deng Xian, he will not deserve to be the Five Biao.

He turned around to Tian Ergeng and said, "Brother Tian, ​​I hope you will be in charge here. Then I personally escort the money into Beijing and hand it over to the inner treasury."

Tian Ergeng naturally agreed and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wei Liangchen smiled: "We just came back from Jiangnan. There are some old friends in the capital who are busy with His Majesty's errands, and they don't even have time to visit him... It's nothing now, so let's just be lazy to meet..."

Tian Ergeng said "Oh". He could hear some concealment from Wei Liangchen's words, but he would never ask who Wei Liangchen met.

He only put the sword back into the sheath, nodded slightly, and said, "Go to go by yourself, I'm here."

"Thank you, Brother Tian!"

Wei Liangchen bowed his hands and only took his personal guards back to the capital. After entering the city, he headed straight for Bei'anmen.

After more than a year of traveling, when Wei Liangchen returned to the alley in front of the yard of Keyin Monthly Rent, he felt extremely kind.

Walking deeper along the blue bricks, every step reminds him of every bit of the past.

It was already bright at this time, and many residents around had gotten up. They were either packing in the yard or waiting for the incense-collecting dung trucks at the door. They saw a group of big men holding knives surrounded by a young man in the alley, and were all a little scared.

Seeing this, Wei Liangchen hurriedly asked his personal guards to wait for him at the entrance of the alley, which scared the residents.

When he arrived at the gate of the yard where Ke Yinyue rented, he suddenly laughed at the closed gate, and then gently knocked on the gate.

There was someone in the yard. Ke Yinyue was at home. After hearing the knocking sound of the door, Ke Yinyue, who was fetching water to prepare for washing clothes, was stunned and asked outside the door: "Who?"

"It's me."

Without any extra words, the words "It's me" made the guest Yinyue in the yard turn red in an instant, and the wooden barrel fall from her hands.

She rushed towards the door. The moment the door bolt opened, she saw the long-lost face, and then she threw herself into the man's arms, hugged him tightly, cried, and then pounded his chest with her fist.
